2.4.3 Checking Connections

Once the NMEA 2000

connection and load connection(s) to the RIM100 have been

completed, check to see that information is being properly transmitted by observing an

appropriate NMEA 2000

display. If you don’t see Run Indicator status, refer to Section 4,

“Troubleshooting”.

2.5 Configuring the RIM100

The RIM100 will transmit data over the NMEA 2000

network as it is shipped from the factory;

however, it may require configuration, depending on how many loads are being monitored.

There are several configurable items within the RIM100, which are detailed in the remainder of

this section.

You configure the RIM100 using a Maretron DSM250 display or other NMEA 2000

display

unit that is capable of configuring the RIM100. Please refer to the Maretron DSM250 User’s

Manual for details.

2.5.1 Device Instance

NMEA 2000

provides a unique device instance for each switch/run monitoring device on a

vessel. This value should be programmed in each RIM100 so that each RIM100 is associated

with a unique device instance number. The default instance number is 0, which is used to

indicate the first RIM100 that is hooked to the network. Subsequent RIM100s connected to the

network would be numbered 1, 2, and so on.

2.5.2 Channel #1 - #6 Mode

You must configure the RIM100 as to whether a particular channel should be enabled. The

allowable values for this parameter are as follows:

• “Enable” (default) – Use this value if the channel is being used to monitor a load.

• “Disable” – Use this value if no load circuit is connected to the corresponding channel’s

terminals. The RIM100 will indicate that no data is available for this circuit.

2.5.3 Channel #1 - #6 Label

Each channel that can be monitored by the RIM100 may be programmed with a text label that

will be displayed in monitoring software and displays that recognize device labels, such as the

Maretron N2KView Vessel Monitoring System and the Maretron DSM250 display. The label

will let you assign an easy-to-remember text label (example: “Forward Bilge Pump”) to make it

easy for you to identify the device being monitored.

2.5.4 Advanced Configuration…

Certain parameters do not normally need to be set in order for normal operation, but are

included in an advanced configuration section for use in special situations.
